I posted the exact same thing on this forum:

"Regarding weapons, i think that thieves with improved hide should really be able to wield certain weapons without being noticed or step out while doing it. I would like to see thieves/sneaking rangers/assassins be able to wield/remove weapons under a certain weight limit without being noticed period. You only notice it if you can see them. Like switching between dagger and blackjack should not make you step out. But if you switch between a 20 lbs mace and a sword, you will step out. Its only logical no? ALso wouldnt really hurt game balance, and make for some nifty class improvements, i think."

No response, from mortals or Immortals. Made sense to me back then, makes sense to me now. More power to improved hide, but don't get your hopes up.

Romanul.

P.S: Sebeok and Zulg you know I love you guys, right? ;)
